This is a single-cylinder, belt-driven motor bicycle which embodies features patented by the makers in 1910 and 1911. The chief of these is the variable-speed gear which consists of variable pulleys on the engine-shaft and rear wheel, the one expanding as the other contracts, so that a gradual change of gear is obtained.

No, not at all. However At EMI Hayes in the 1940s one factory building was known as Rudge which may relate to other entries, or the motor cycles.
